Angola, in the storm's eye

An extraordinary performance of his young pivot Yanick Moreira (23, 2.11 height, from Southern Methodist University in Dallas), who signed a form with 38 points (17-24 in field goals, 4-7 free throws), 15 rebounds, a steal, a cap and an assist Angola held dream of advancing to the knockout stage of the World Championship to be played in Spain.

But that illusion only lasted a few hours. Despite the victory against Australia 91-83 in a game not without controversy (the Australians came to have up to fifteen point difference), it was not enough as Mexico beat South Korea 87-71 and harmed both by direct African duel. His coach, and consistent with the United States to avoid crossings in eighths, reserved two of his main players, Joe Ingles and Aron Baynes.hoopstats
